I still am baffled of how to add extra filter material to the out put valve. Please tell me how to attach the filter material to the output valve. Does it attach with a rubber band etc?

The only filter that I'm aware of goes in the small square compartment, approx. 3"x2", when the body of the Hagan Elite is pulled apart. I don't use anything for the valve, & don't see how I could even if I tried. Hope this helps. Since we clean our 5 gal tank about once a week, filters can get expensive so I use a floor buffing material that is stiff & can be cut to fit the Elite. I know this is unconventional, but I don't want to pay the price for fish filters & when we clean the tank, the filter is nasty & it's a cheap fix to throw the dirty filter away & cut a new one.

I don't know what you mean, but the black filter goes on the inside where the vents are??? The same way it came in the box!!

Tim, the filter is real thick, but you can push it down enough to force the plastic piece with the "catches" to close enough to hold the metal filter in place. As an alternative you might be able to get some fine sandpaper in there and sand down the plastic for a little more clearance... Personally, I went back to paper because I found the metal filter just too much hassle. I'll keep it in case I run out of paper filters. RON.

Joanne is wrong, sorry. The screen and rubber washer are just that. A screen to keep the inevitable small sand and particles normal in waterlines to keep from clogging further down stream. Only way I can see to increase flow is to drill out venturi in white plastic swivel section. Leave the screen in. I went ahead and tried to drill it out, and works fine. Hole size a received is a little less than 1/8" and I stepped up to 11/64". That's not a huge change, Works fine and did increase flow some.

I am not sure which filter you want to attach. We've attached a PUR filter to end where the water comes out. I don't like them too much because of the back pressure they cause.

I took a piece of filter sponge and cut to fit for in front of the outflow. I was able to put it under the lip of the top cover and close it over the sponge. It really cut down on the flow. The filter also comes with a plastic curved piece that goes over the top to lessen the water flow. Also, the higher you have the water in the tank, the less the current. What size tank do you have?

Not sure what you could do to it without using something that may also touch the water. You could always go get a different valve at Home Depot or Lowes. Mine works well so it might be defective... You may want to contact the manufacturer

We are going to try a mixing valve when we receive ours as my mother is elderly and I need it for her. we already have the valve because we wanted to put it on so the toilet doesnt sweat in the summer with our cold Well Water. I will post results.

I am not sure what you are asking. Are you wanting to know what this valve does? It cuts off the water supply coming into the hose that feeds the filter. This allows you to change the filter without water pouring out of the pump while you are replacing the dirty filter with a clean one. It is a terrific buy and does its job just as described.

You have to attach your own air pump and tubing to it. It is just the filter itself.

it is possible the valve is no good or is not lined up to completely shut of the other valves while in the filter position. their should be no water coming from that valve also make sure your pressure valve on the left of that hole is closed.

Cool thanks! I have decided to order it. Just got it today! Excited to use it. Wondering where to get the filters for the glass attachments. Have to figure that out later. I know they last a while. So that will be figured out later I guess.

You have to unscrew something and add the filter in.not difficult at all.i did it on my own. Works beautifully.

Try this. Open the filter up and manually fill it almost all the way up with water. Then close it back up. Try to plug it in and ensure that you have the valves in the open position.

I put one in a Porter Cable. It was easy to install and much easier to use than the valve than came with it. Wish I knew if it fit your unit but I don't.

Seems to be 2 slightly different valves, I had both and both were bad so not a problem for me, ordered one then the other.... get the tva2 for yours. Tootles... Wade

There is such an attachment on the flow control adaptor. It is fitted after the control valve in the main outlet 'pipe'. I have not used it on this unit but in an older version I hooked it up as a means of drawing air, making air bubbles in the output. Since I use the pump for circulation in perceived dead spots in the tank, it didn't provide any improvement in what I was trying to achieve, so I discarded it. There was even an airline with silencer included in this kit. I am not sure what you are trying to achieve but there is no real way to plug up the main water output and force it out of the 3/16 pipe.
